To be honest, I don’t really know what the f-ck “I’m your huckleberry” is supposed to mean. I just know that when Val Kilmer says it as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, I think “Yes, I would like for you to be my huckleberry. Here, you may wear my ring.” This story may or may not have anything to do with Val Kilmer, but Paramount just bought the spec to The Further Adventures of Doc Holliday. It’s from Chad St. John, which sounds like a fake porn star name, but actually is a screenwriter who had two scripts in the 2009 Black List.
Paramount hopes to turn it into a Western-style tentpole. Lorenzo di Bonaventura [Asteroids, Imagine That - oof] is onboard to produce. Studio is keeping the logline tightly under wraps, but the project is described as a history-based action adventure tale in the vein of Pirates of the Caribbean. [Variety]
Sweet, you guys remember that historically-based Pirates of the Caribbean movie, right? My favorite part of my history book was always the dancing skeletons and Johnny Depp wearing eyeliner. Aw crap, that was just my doodles.
The Further Adventures of Doc Holliday. Good thing they didn’t go with the literal title, “Dying of Tuberculosis.”

Val and the Twinkie Kid can go wrangle up some bacon cheeseburgers at the Sonic!
I’d like Halle to be my Fuckleberry.
I once pitched a Western Style Tentpole at Bucky Slade’s Steakhouse – our waitress was SMOKIN’.
My dog always walks around when shes taking a dump and makes a logline.
So this movie is gonna be a string of turds? Awesome.
I don’t get it either Vinky. Maybe it’s just something to throw someone off their game so you can take advantage while they’re trying to figure it out. Like when I yell, “I’m a perturbed granite licker!” right before I stab a chick in her mudhole.
I honestly did genuinely love him in that movie. Skinny Val that is, not American Val.
Never insult seven men when you’re only carrying a six-shooter and never trust a guy who says “western-style tentpole”.
They should get Kilmer back and just call it ‘The Fatter Adventures of Doc Holliday’.
So… who wants to go down to the river and poke the dead body with a stick?
I have an hour of work left and you post THIS?
How the fuck am I supposed to get anything done when I have to watch Tombstone in its entirety * now?
* I am actually obligated by the rules I made up to do this whenever I catch a snippet of it.
Hey Erswi…
YOU’RE BRINGING ME DOWN, MAN!
It could be argued that Tombstone was and is still the best Western ever made. Even with Bill Paxton fagging the thing up.
What is indisputable is that Costner’s Wyatt Earp was worse than the PBR/$.25 hot-wing next morning shits.
If Kilmer’s playing Holliday again, he’s dying from diabetes, not TB.
Not to ruin it, but it means “I’m the perfect man for the job”. A reference to Tom Sawyer’s ‘Huck Finn’.

err, NOT a reference to Huck Finn.

I pretended to go see the doctor last week to get out of work. I had a Doc Holliday
TrUPn.
Hey TheFourthOF…
YOU’RE BRINGING ME DOWN, MAN!
And I’m your dingleberry.
It means Pallbearer… I’ve got a shot glass from the “Town to tough to die” to prove it.
i always assumed he meant Huckleberry Finn, like he’s the huckleberry to wyatt’s tom sawyer? i dunno
nevermind, completely forgot when he said that in the movie and posted before i watched the clip
